This is very serious. I don't know what a "class 1 town highway" or a "class 4 town highway" is in Vermont, but I imagine they'd be able to restrict some roads we'd like to use if Minnesota adopted such a law.
In most cases, the roads the Ojibwe Forests Rally uses to get into the forest are controlled by the DNR. However, there are a few places where we need to travel on township roads to get there. Akeley Cutoff, for instance, would be eliminated if we couldn't use the township road to get there.
Or what if they wouldn't let us use the city streets to get to the Akeley School (this year's service location)?
Ojibwe, the Chippewa Trail or the Tombstone Trail could require permits from 20 or 30 different townships.
And this is all assuming we'd still be unrestricted on state and county roads.
A logging truck or a milk truck (or even a school bus) impacts the roads and the safety of the community more in a year than all the rallies that would be run. A school bus travels the same roads 400 times a year. A milk truck does it 200 times. Both are immensely more dangerous than a rally car. We're getting picked on, here.
Vermonters, you have to fight this for all of us.
